Abstract
The past decade has seen an increasing number of reports of patients suffering from
disorders of lipid with major abnormalities of the neuromuscular system. On the basis
of these reports it has been suggested that carnitine deficiency can be subdivided
into a myopathic form where the deficiency is confined to muscle and a systemic form
where there is more wide-spread carnitine depletion. Recent evidence based on clinical
and experimental material casts doubt on this rigid subdivision. It is suggested that
patients with carnitine deficiency should not be rigorously subdivided until further
clarification of the underlying biochemical abnormalities have been undertaken.
